After long days and weeks of waiting, I finally got my ipod nano white, 4GB at the end of last week and I wanna give you my review on it.
First of all the ipod itself: One Word: Great!
Small, very thin (much smaller than I tought it would be) and ligth. That's what an MP3-Player should look like for me.
Of course it is very easy to use and so far I have experienced no problems at all (knock on wood). One bad thing I wanna mention though is that the ipod does not come with a speperate charger, what really sucks if you are on vaction etc.
As this is my first Ipod I was astonished when I saw the ipod photo of a colleague of mine; very bulcky and heavy, so I defently prefere my nano.
As far as the scratches are concerned, I must admit, that this thing scratches really easily (I have some very light scratches on the back, but you hardly can't see them unless you are really looking for them) but if you get a film or case this shouldnt be a big iusse at all.
While I heard so many comments of bad earbus, I can't confirm this. They fit pretty good to my ears, don't pop out and the sound of the nano is also pretty good, absolutely no problemes there!
ezskin: Well, I'd say it's good. I got the frost white and it doesn't really damage the design of my white nano, altough the ipod looks of course better without any case. The lanyard and wirstband are pretty good and I also like the belt clip, cause when you don't have pants on your pockets that's definetily a good thing.
However the downside of beltclip is that there is this screw at the back and this is kind of an issue if you carry your nano in very thight pants (I think this is more a problem for girls than it is for boys). When you wear jeans or something you won't note any difference, so for me it works pretty well.
Bottom line is that it is a matter of personal joice if a bilt clip is important to you and you can handle the small obstacle of the screw at the back.
BTW: The case makes the nano thicker, but only like 2 or 3 mm so I don't think this should be an issue.
Power support crystal film: Great! Fantastic!
I tought it would be much harder to apply but I had in on in like 3 minutes and there are virtually no bubbles or anything else (only one thiny, thiny piece of dirt or so, but this is not a problem at all).
The power support fil is very easy to aplly and the best thing is you can't see it. I was really looking for it and it took me a little while to even see where the edges of the film are. So I'd say this is the best protection for the nano you can geht if you don't feel convinient with the invisible shield.
Up to this day I can honestly say that I would give the whole combo of nano+ezskin case+crystal film a A- simply because due to the fact that I would really like to have a cause allready included in the price of 250 and a charger should also cause no troubles for apple.
